Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring directory services
This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
The Domino® Directory
The Domino® Directory, which some previous releases referred to as the Public Address Book or Name and Address Book, is a database that Domino creates automatically on every server. The Domino Directory is a directory of information about users, servers, and groups, as well as custom entries you may add. Registering users and servers in a domain automatically creates corresponding Person documents and Server documents in the Domino Directory for the domain. These documents contain detailed information about each user and server.
Setting up Notes® clients to use a directory server
You can set up Notes® clients to use a different server from their mail servers for mail addressing. Type-ahead addressing searches a directory server only when Notes users do not use condensed (mobile) directory catalogs. Directory servers are not used for LDAP directory searches initiated by Notes users.

Setting up Notes clients to use a directory server

You can set up Notes® clients to use a different server from their mail servers for mail addressing. Type-ahead addressing searches a directory server only when Notes users do not use condensed (mobile) directory catalogs. Directory servers are not used for LDAP directory searches initiated by Notes users.

About this task

It should be noted that the mail servers still do lookups to route mail; this feature only redirects client lookups such as F9, type-ahead, or address picker lookups to the directory server.

To use desktop policy settings or a User Setup Profile to automate the setup:

Procedure

Create a Desktop Policy Settings or User Setup Profile document in the Domino® Directory.
Enter the name of the directory server in the Directory server field in the Basics tab of the document.
Click Save & Close.

What to do next

Alternatively, a user can add the name of a directory server manually in the Domino directory server field on the Servers tab of a Location document in their Contacts.
